Back to nature

The Montessori Philosophy emphasizes immersion

in nature in order to assist in the development of the whole child.

Spending time in nature promotes

physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development in every child.

This week we planted sunflowers together. Later this month we will be planting wildflowers (Weather permitting)

We chose sunflowers for several reason:

1. They are beautiful.

2. They attract butterflies and birds.

3. They remind us to follow the "Son" (Jesus).

4. For Ukraine: They are a symbol of peace and solidarity.

Morning Prayer

Oh my God,

I offer you all that I think, say and do.

I'll work, I'll run, I'll sing, I'll sing, I'll pray,

Jesus be with me all through the day.

Amen

Our Classroom Buddies

We want to send our a special thanks to the 4th grades in Mrs. Minner's class for inviting us to come to their classroom to meet their hens.

Plants and Weather

This week we have been exploring how the weather helps our plants grow .

We need the sunlight to warm the plants.

The wind to give the plants air.

Today we made rain a jar to show where we get the water for our plants to grow.

After making it "rain in the classroom it was time to play with the "clouds!"

We were having so much fun even Mrs. Barrera had to join.

Rainbows
To end our unit on Rainbows we had fun by doing a pasta rainbow sensory table.
We learn that God sent the rainbow as a promise that he will always be there for us.
We learn that there are 7 colors in the rainbow because God is with us 7 days a week.
We also are learning that God has made us all different but we are all special in his eyes.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful spring break.
Please feel free to email me pictures of your spring break adventures.
They love seeing pictures of themselves up on the Smartboard.
